Red clay, Mercy, cantaloop comes to mind….brick wall is kind of cool…since Roy Hargrove is the king, RH factor Crazy race or How I know….thanks for adding spanish joint to my repertoir😊
Great tutorial. This songs become so much more of a beast when you realize Charlie Hunter played the bass, melody AND THE SOLO on the same instrument at the same time!
the 90s were a great time for soul music. so many new sounds and attitudes. D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah Badu ... and acid jazz in the UK. seemed like every week, we got something new.
Soulquestrians working out of Electric Lady Studios at the same times gave us Mamas Gun, Voodoo, Like Water for Chocolate, and Things Fall Apart. Would have been amazing to witness that.
You really have great musicality, very tasteful playing. I say it again but I'd totally buy a rnb, neo soul-ish, funk piano course on open studio if you teach it
someone may passively watch this and believe its easy sitting down to do it and sound nearly as good as what you present is a challenge thanks for your contribution to online music learning fr man
Peter you play better on this than some of the greatest masters ever i stg everything about every one of your lessons is present in your demonstrations. I aspire to learn everything you teach and play with as much clarity as this i mean better than the greatest masters you are truly the greatest jazz master of your generation and this video utterly proves it
absolutely love all of the open studio vids. I've only been following for a few months and have already seen an enormous improvement in a few areas. Just a thought: an overhead view of the Rhodes instead of from the side would make learning fingerings easier in my opinion. Thanks Peter and Adam!
Peter! I'm in rehearsal for a gig with my band and your name comes up during rehearsal 🎶. James Ward, Bassist says PETER MARTIN. I knew him from back in school. He stood this high... he puts his hand mid chest. I said, I LOVE Peter. That's my boy! You are the man. Crazy love from KC out to you and Adam. So much content, this little jazz flute/vocalist loves your content. Outstanding content... big fan! Loving this post... you got that Groove authority Thang. Yes baby.
Peter, this was perfect! I’ve been loving your Elements of Jazz course, and this video has me dying for an Elements of Funk/Neosoul/Groove follow up! Herbie, George Duke, Zawinul, Joe Sample… keep that beautiful Vintage Vibe humming, please! :-)
I remember when the voodoalbum came out, spanish joint went on repeat. Never thought it could work as a solopiece, but it works really well. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hey Peter! I love your videos, especially your fun tutorials like the Stevie wonder one and little fun rants like you talking about Hargrove and griffin. Could you do a video on Ahmad Jamal's specifically Rhodes or piano playing, I don't hear a lot of It talked about even though he has been really influential ever since he started playing. big ups team at open studio 😁😁😁
Great lesson, very useful, and Peter really sounds wonderful. One thing : It's a detail, but on the chorus (or bridge, whatever you want to call it) it seems to me the 2nd degree is a flat II (Db7), and not a normal ii half-diminished (d 1/2dim)... or am I hearing things ?
What year is the Rhodes? Sounds like a 74’ 75’? Also fantastic teaching style. You have that positivity that makes anyone watching think they can do it.
The piano is not an antique Rhodes. It's a vintage vibe electric piano. New electromechanical piano in the same style but with a few more modern touches. Think of it like the Rhodes' grandkids. He intros the piano at length in another video they've put out
Great stuff, maybe someone can help me with a doubt: why does he talk about C pentatonic? He clearly uses a Fm pentatonic, sometimes blues... I don't get it...thanks
He’s mainly using the Cminor pentatonic (C - Eb - F - G - Bb) and adding the blue note (F#). But then he also plays some other pentatonics during the changes, like Fm penta or even G pentatonic to highlight the natural B.
Love this Breakdown. I am not a musician and don't understand notes etc., but this helps while listening to the song. Is Spanish Joint a Classic? and is D'Angelo a musical genius? 🎹
What R&B/funk/groove tune would you like me to do next?
EWF

Crazy Race by RH Factor would be dope!
Summer soft by stevie wonder!
How about 'U know What's Up' by Donell Jones?
The musicianship on all 3 albums is crazy. The greatest 3 album output since Wonder.
Great tutorial. This songs become so much more of a beast when you realize Charlie Hunter played the bass, melody AND THE SOLO on the same instrument at the same time!

Knowledgeable, digestible, and with true attention to detail. Viva Peter & Open Studio!
You really have great musicality, very tasteful playing. I say it again but I'd totally buy a rnb, neo soul-ish, funk piano course on open studio if you teach it
I mean, this video is basically already it but on a few more songs and some soloing exercises, that'd be cool
One of my favorite tracks. This is gold right here. Much appreciated!

Great video. Been loving the new series of videos from Peter.
Wow, just as I started listening to him again! Probably one of my favorites from him.
Sickness!
If ppl havent heard his solo acoustic piano version of this youre missing out.

A tiny man that casts a giant musical shadow
This is straight 🔥 I've always had challenges in soloing and comping but this will greatly enhance my ability to do so. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
Just love those funky jazz vamps❤ Great lesson.
RIP Roy Hargrove. Fantastic job breaking this great tune apart !
Fun fact here, Guitar and bass are played by Charlie Hunter in this song (at the same time)
Peter, this was perfect! I’ve been loving your Elements of Jazz course, and this video has me dying for an Elements of Funk/Neosoul/Groove follow up! Herbie, George Duke, Zawinul, Joe Sample… keep that beautiful Vintage Vibe humming, please! :-)
Way to get Joe Sample in there - The Crusaders had some mad soul.
Quite the groove masterclass from Peter here...
One of my favorite songs of all time!
Love This! Hopefully, you will do a series !

How do you get the fingering of that hit right? Feel like I don't have enough fingers 😐
yes

Molasses - Hiatus Kaiyote
Your lessons look very interesting but it’s always too fast for me 😢
Pause, rewind...
And Go to the settings up top and you can change playback speed. Slow it to a pace that suits your needs😊😊
Thanks. Don't need to hear you self indulgently jam on it for 25 minutes tho
So sick
